The Lunatic Fringe: A Novel Wherein Theodore Roosevelt Meets the Pink Angel Page 32

by William L. DeAndrea


  Dennis Muldoon didn’t like Washington, D.C., liked Cuba even less, and was afraid to try Albany. Therefore, in 1898, when TR was elected Governor, Muldoon returned to New York City and opened a private enquiry agency, at which he prospered. He and Roosevelt continued to be friends, and spent much time visiting each other.

  Cleo’s perfect body had been marred by her ordeal on the night of August twenty-ninth, 1896. For the rest of her life, she bore two completely straight scars, one on the inside of each thigh. She minded not at all, since that was a place only her husband and her doctor would ever see. An interesting side effect of the fuse was that it had burned off the ankh, the birthmark that had given her her name. Cleo felt that with it, her old life had been burned away as well. The Pink Angel no longer, she was content to exercise her journalistic bent by writing an occasional humorous piece for Collier’s, or Harper’s magazines, raise her children, and enjoy being Mrs. Dennis Patrick Francis-Xavier Muldoon.
